2019 Canada Winter Games

In September 2014, Red Deer was announced as the host city for the 2019 Canada Winter Games.

The Canada Games is one of the largest multi-sport events in the world and creates lasting legacies in the community including physical, economic, social and cultural benefits that impact participants, volunteers, spectators and the community.

Hosting the 2019 Canada Winter Games requires construction of new facilities, and several facility upgrades and enhancements in Red Deer which will contribute to our community amenities.

Construction, upgrades and enhancements funded by the capital budget will allow for:

Biathlon and cross country skiing to be hosted at River Bend Golf and Recreation Area.

Freestyle ski and snowboarding to be hosted at Canyon Ski Resort.

Long track speed skating to be hosted at Great Chief Park.

Short track speed skating and squash to be hosted at RDC’s Gary W. Harris Centre for Health, Wellness & Sport.

Cultural events and community activities to be hosted at a Games Plaza
